Overnight care

What this includes
- Sleeping nights, where the carer rests but is there if needed
- Waking nights, where the carer stays up throughout
- Help getting to and from bed, and to the toilet in the night
- Repositioning and continence support
- A written record of the night handed over each morning
Who this suits
People at risk of falls at night, or families who cannot keep covering nights themselves.
How it is planned and reviewed
Our Registered Manager assesses at home before anything starts, and writes the care plan with you. It sets out the visits, the times, the tasks and the cost, and you keep a copy.
We check in during the first week and review formally within six weeks. You do not have to wait for a review to change something — tell us and we will change it.
